High Tech and Electronics is one of the most complex and fastest moving sectors in the world. Manufacturers need to be flexible and adaptable to keep up with constantly evolving electronic demands like connected devices and usage of artificial intelligence technologies.

There is an increasing pressure from all areas – consumers, businesses and governments – to look into more eco-friendly manufacturing solutions which comply with the new regulations as well as with the environmental and export laws. See how we provide a single and completely integrated solution to manage businesses in this industry with the comprehensive beas Manufacturing for High Tech and Electronics.

Benefits Supporting Key Initiatives for this Industry

Integrate easily to CAD / PLM for Bill of Material data import

Companies who utilize both an external PLM or CAD Systems and an ERP software may find themselves entering their item Numbers and Bills of Material twice - onto each system

Companies who utilize both an external PLM or CAD Systems and an ERP software may find themselves entering their Item Numbers and Bills of Materials twice – once into each system. Double entering data is not only inefficient, but also can create more mistakes and lead to data inaccuracy.

It is time consuming to calculate the costs of a manufactured item without an integration in place. Not being able to quickly analyze the information of the different sources about items, bills routings, indirect cost calculation formulas, and the costing version is affecting your ability to determine a selling pricing and effecting the bottom line.

Using beas Manufacturing Data Integration Hub, we automate the complex and time-consuming process of entering BOM data and calculate its accurate cost. Having that integration in place, the process that would usually take a week from your highest-paid engineering staff, only takes a few minutes allowing them to keep being productive and adding real value to the business.

Reduce your excess inventory

Quite often, the actual costs of inventory are inaccurate, underestimated and incomplete. While most manufacturers know they have dead inventory, many are unaware of just how much.

Quite often, the actual costs of inventory are inaccurate, underestimated and incomplete. While most manufacturers know they have dead inventory, many are unaware of just how much. However, the costs associated with carrying raw materials and finished goods, represent some of the most significant costs for a company in the High Tech and Electronics Industry. Obsolete inventory carries a very high cost for organizations as it ties up a business’ cash reserves and occupies expensive warehouse space.

The more inventory a company carries, the higher the ongoing costs will be, which is reason enough not to carry dead, outdated, or obsolete, inventory. A company that can reduce their inventory costs through operational efficiency will see tremendous benefit. With beas Manufacturing supply and demand management, inventory is balanced to ensure the right components and quantities are in the warehouse, while reducing obsolescence related to product changes, thus positively impacting the financial bottom line.

Optimize your production resources

With increasing bill of material complexity and multi-constraint production resources such as machines, tooling and labor skills, your ability to provide accurate customer delivery dates is getting to be a complex task.

Listening to the pulse of manufacturing to maximize throughput enables manufacturers to respond proactively to problems and reduce downtime in the plant. With increasing bill of material complexity and multi-constraint production resources such as machines, tooling and labor skills, your ability to provide accurate customer delivery dates is getting to be a complex task. In some cases, production staff are recording data on paper creating a lack of production visibility especially when trying to manually plan multiple resource types simultaneously.

These resources need to be optimized to maximize production output, reduce changeover and setups, while meeting customer demand. With beas Manufacturing capacity planning, initial delivery dates can be calculated via finite backward scheduling. Combines with beas Manufacturing APS both material availability and capacity can be scheduled together to calculate the capable to promise delivery date while allows you to effectively plan large numbers of short run production orders.

Achieve Industry Quality Standards

By mitigating the risk of product recalls, reducing manufacturing costs and quality controlling end-to-end traceability of processes, organizations will also be able to successfully reduce inefficiencies within the supply chain.

Many organizations today still use manual approaches to traceability. Even in those organizations where some of the process is automated, a considerable amount of manual intervention typically still takes place which requires a lot of time and effort.

Beas Manufacturing quality control allows enterprises to define what, when and how products are tested, providing a full audit and electronic documentation trail of the quality control procedures and processes thus increasing overall product quality and levels of traceability.

Manage product life cycles / versions

Increasing product complexity and faster cycle times means that you constantly have to deal with changes in BOMs. It’s a management challenge made more difficult by the intense pressure to control costs.

Increasing product complexity and faster cycle times means that you constantly have to deal with changes in BOMs. It’s a management challenge made more difficult by the intense pressure to control costs. Changes aren’t communicated through the supply chain rapidly enough, leading to the wrong revision of a component or excessive scrapping and reworking of products. Cost estimates are unpredictable, making it difficult to keep pricing competitive.

High Tech and Electronics manufacturers should approach BOM change management as a strategic initiative by creating a systematic approach to automating how you update BOMs and how you communicate the updated BOM to every department that needs to know about it. With beas Manufacturing revision management several active BOMs are effectively manageable at the same time with changed impact analysis across the enterprise from forecasting to MRP, purchasing to production, and inventory to sales order - therefore managing the full life cycle and ensuring that the correct products are available to meet customer demand.

Get real-time visibility of your business performance

Understanding your core business operations is, for many manufacturers, the initial step in improving bottom line revenues through greater visibility of office and plant floor operations. Storing your data offline or in separate systems will hugely impact your ability to grow.

When each report takes too much time and you cannot feel safe of the accuracy of the data, your decision-making process becomes a real challenge and you cannot respond as fast to the business needs.

Beas Manufacturing built-in dashboards and KPIs provide you're a real time data which will put you in front of your business, so you can quickly adapt and maintain your competitive advantage in the market. Data is stored centrally and online not in offline spreadsheets thus eliminate manual entry of data into reporting tools thus increasing accuracy. The collection and processing of data is automated supporting timely and informed decision making.
